Do you believe the economy is a zero sum game?

[mptest]

I believe the mountains of evidence that money in a 'poor' person's hands does more for the economy than when it is added to a dragon's pile.

[janmarsal]

Taxing the workers and giving the money to the 'poor' is an indirect subsidy to the dragons. Dragons are rich and cunning enough to afford to 'plan' their taxes, so it's not like they need to contribute to the UBI. They just reap the benefits.

I believe extreme wealth inequality is bad for economies and society.

[graemep]

No, but that does not undermine the case for UBI.

Not the economy as a whole, but there are some aspects of the economy that are. Indeed, negative externalities can be worse than a zero-sum game to those affected.

To be frank, this whole “the economy is not a zero-sum game” argument is kind of a meme at this point.
